Circular Abstractions - Off the Wall Friday

Orbital 1, Heather Pregger and Marks IV, Kaci Kyler

Recently, I was lucky enough to see the exhibit, Circular Abstractions - Bulls-eyes Quilts at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY. The exhibit was born from a challenge issued by Nancy Crow to fellow artists, former students, and friends to come up with their unique bulls-eye quilts (circular designs in a four quadrant pattern). Obviously, when Nancy issues a challenge, people comply since what resulted was an amazing 51 full size quilt extravaganza. The collection is so big that the Schweinfurth could only hold half!
